I saw a guy speak at a high profile conference last year. He was rubbish. His speech was dire, full of cliches and devoid of a point. He was smug, hard to hear, harder to listen to and he went on for 20 minutes beyond his allotted time. I hated him, his skinny jeans, and his message. […]

Proud Sponsors of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre – London

We are delighted to be sponsors of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London. The Globe Theatre is a faithful reconstruction of the open-air playhouse, first built in 1599, where Shakespeare worked and for which he wrote many of his greatest plays.
Each year the theatre season runs from April to October with productions of work by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, as well as modern writers. Each year over 350,000 members of the audience experience the 'wooden O' sitting in a gallery or standing as a 'groundling' in the yard, just as they would have done 400 years ago. See here.
As a proud English company, based in London, we are thrilled by Shakespeare's work and traditions, and the idea of The Globe as the 'home of Shakespeare' as it was meant to be seen in the Elizabethan London thrills us to this day.

Hello from me

This blog is about helping the novice and the experienced speaker add polish, poise and impact to their performance. My mission is to help you make the most of your opportunities, and stand out from the crowd, whatever you do.

All my experience of pitching and presenting tells me that there's no 'one right way' to present. It's too complex a subject to be so certain; and I would beware of every trainer, book or article that suggests there is 'one right way'. But there are themes that work in most places, for most speakers, with most audiences.
